Too Pretty for Porn

I bought this album because Too Pretty for Porn is a local band who I saw perform a few weeks ago. I'm a musician with a jaded ear, a nasty attitude, and I'm usually underwhelmed by the redundant mediocrity I hear in LA.Too Pretty for Porn only played 2 songs (not on this album) but it was enough for me to seek them out because they are that good and that fcukin' original. I even looked them up on myspace - which is psychotic... (if you knew me you'd know)I have to say, when I saw the band, they sounded more raw and harder than they do on this CD - but I was still FAR from dissapointed by this album.Even though this an small indie release, the music is DOPE.The vocals & lyrics are artful, strange and sexy.The guitar is on point.The bass is sly, and the beats, the beats, the beats.... are insane.It's hard to describe it or lable it -because the music changes from pretty to psychedelic to jazz to funk to rock - usually within one song. All I can say is that I look forward to hearing more from this trippy trio. If you are in LA, See them live!
